In remarks given on the House floor today, Rep. Zoe Lofgren called out controversial Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for hiding and then fleeing his home to avoid being served a subpoena Monday.
The Texas Tribune reports that when Ernesto Martin Herrera, a process server, was attempting to serve the state’s top attorney with a subpoena a woman answered the door and said Paxton was on the phone.
Nearly an hour later, a black Chevrolet Tahoe pulled into the driveway, and 20 minutes after that, Ken Paxton exited the house. “I walked up the driveway approaching Mr. Paxton and called him by his name. As soon as he saw me and heard me call his name out, he turned around and RAN back inside the house through the same door in the garage,” Herrera wrote in the sworn affidavit.
How embarrassing. But that's another check mark against Paxton who is still being investigated for securities fraud
Rep. Lofgren was discussing idiots like Ted Cruz attacking Big Tech over conservatives being censored; claiming it's a violation of free speech and doing away with content moderation.
"If you are Info Wars and you're inciting violence, I hope whatever platform you're on takes you down," she said.
"That's not conservative speech or liberal speech. It's dangerous speech. I do hope we see this for what it is," she said.
"Not every A.G. is a model of probity. The Attorney General in Texas right now is hiding from process servers and has we know has some other legal problems," Lofgren stated.
"To suggest that every Attorney General is going to be guided by principles of law, as we would hope the Department of Justice and many of the AG's are, would be a serious mistake."
In other words, you can't trust AG hacks like Paxton to uphold actual principles, the law or be truthful.
I second that motion.
